Welcome to our exciting lesson! Today, we will dive into the colorful and imaginative world of one of the most famous artists of the 20th century: Salvador Dalí. But before we start discussing his life and artworks, let’s take a moment to exercise our creativity.
To spark your imagination just like Dalí did, we’ll create our own 'Dream Journals.'
Close Your Eyes: Take a deep breath and think about the last dream you remember. What did you see? Who was there? How did you feel?
Draw Your Dream: On a sheet of paper, quickly sketch the most interesting part of your dream. Don’t worry about it being perfect; just let your imagination flow! You can use colors, shapes, or even symbols!
Write a Mini-Story: Underneath your drawing, write a few sentences describing your dream. Use your five senses! What did you hear? What did you smell? What emotions did you feel?
Let's share a few of our dreams in pairs! Choose a partner and take turns explaining what you drew and wrote. This sharing session will be a great way to notice how unique our dreams (and imaginations) can be—just like the artworks of Salvador Dalí!
Now that we’ve warmed up our imaginative muscles, let’s explore how Salvador Dalí harnessed dreams and unexplainable ideas to create his extraordinary paintings. Get ready to learn about his life, his surreal style, and how he transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary!
By starting with the Dream Journals activity, we can resonate with the creative approach Dalí took in his artworks, setting an engaging tone for the rest of the lesson.
